Description

FREE shipping on this piece. More remote and rural areas will incur a surcharge.

A stunning single cinema seat dating from the late 1920’s/ early 1930’s and displaying beautiful Art Deco side supports. The seat is totally original and was donated by J.Arthur Rank (Rank Organisation) to his local Methodist church when they had a fire in the late 1920’s/ early 30’s. We had around 2o pairs of these seats but this is our very last one. This one had a broken side support and required welding. It has been professionally welded and touched up in paint to blend in. However, we have to point this out to be accurate on its description. Please see all photographs for close up images. The condition is reflected in the price. Very well repaired and a beautiful rare chair still. The wood is solid oak and the side supports are cast iron with a beautifully aged golden colour still present. Original paint finish on cast iron forged legs.

The seat pads and back supports are in a very very dark green but inside and out of bright lights the vast majority would say black.

We have added oak feet to make the chair stable and perfectly usable. If you wanted it much narrower (e.g. for a narrow hallway) you can fix the chair directly to the floor.

Grab your self a beautiful chair and a real piece of UK history.
